“Love Morgan and the whole team. My bestie and I frequent her studio classes and have 'clay dates.' We have the best time and then use our new pottery for dinner dates with our families. It is the best - from the instruction to the food to the drinks to the company - and then you have beautiful handmade pottery! Also great for date nights - my hubby and I had a wonderful time there, too!! A MUST DO!!”

“Perfect girls night! I just took my first Handmade Studio class and it was awesome! I have tried other pottery classes around Nashville and this is by far the best. The team there was so helpful and fun to work with. The class was easy to follow and the pieces are something I will definitely use. This is a great way to spend an evening with girls or on a date. Charcuterie and wine were excellent. Highly recommend - I will be back!”

– Julie G.

“Love Morgan and her studio so much! I have worked with Morgan before on buying my own clay, making pieces and firing but this was my first time at her studio for a workshop! Everything was done so tastefully! From the wine, cheese and desserts, to the class and helpers walking around, it was the most fun night away, creating three bud vases! The Handmade team made our experience wonderful and we can not wait to go back!”

– Alise G.

“Loved the class and my pieces turned out to be absolutely beautiful!”
